Bag T contained 65 cards and 80% of them were green cards.

Number of green cards in Bag S at first
= 40% x 145
=
40100 x 145
= 58
Number of grey cards in Bag S at first
= 145 - 58
= 87
Number of green cards in Bag T at first
= 80% x 65
=
80100 x 65
= 52
Number of grey cards in Bag T at first
= 65 - 52
= 13
Bag S in the end25% =
25100 =
14 Green cards : Grey cards = 3 : 1
Bag T in the end50% =
50100 =
12Green cards : Grey cards = 1 : 1
Total number of green cards = 3 u + 1 p
3 u + 1 p = 58 + 52
3 u + 1 p = 110
1 p = 110 - 3 u --- (1)
Total number of grey cards = 1 u + 1 p
1 u + 1 p = 87 + 13
1 u + 1 p = 100
1 p = 100 - 1 u --- (2)
(2) = (1)
100 - 1 u = 110 - 3 u
3 u - 1 u = 110 - 100
2 u = 10
1 u = 10 ÷ 2 = 5
Total number of grey cards and green cards that must be moved from Bag S to Bag T
= 145 - 4 u
= 145 - 4 x 5
= 145 - 20
= 125
Answer(s): 125
